Summer Color Trend Report

Summer’s Prettiest Color Trends—And 20 Ways to Wear Them

Image credits: j.crew

According to Vogue, the Summer ‘25 runway aesthetic was all about levity and lightness, and the color trends followed suit. Instead of high-voltage shades, designers embraced soft yet vibrant hues that flatter, mix effortlessly with neutrals, and feel right at home in your everyday wardrobe.

We’re calling this palette Sunset Shades, as each color is inspired by the soft light and saturated warmth of golden hour. Think rust reds, juicy oranges, powdery pinks, cheerful yellows, and sun-drenched browns. Sounds pretty romantic, right?

To help you tap into the trend without blowing your budget, we’ve rounded up 20 ultra-chic pieces that capture the moment’s must-have shades—everything from button-downs and tiered skirts to bold accessories and statement shoes. Whether you’re ready to rock tangerine head-to-toe or just want a pop of butter yellow, these finds make it easy (and affordable) to dress like summer’s here to stay.
